1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups broccoli chopped
1 red bell pepper sliced
2 stalks celery sliced at an angle for easy chop-sticking.

For the Hunan sauce

½ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar * white will work too

2 tablespoon chili paste
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum * for thickening

Topping

Instructions

Make the Hunan sauce by whisking all ingredients together. Set aside.
Slice the chicken into bite sized pieces. This makes it easy to use chopsticks if desired.
Add the about half of the olive oil to the wok and set over medium heat. Stir fry the chicken until just under-cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan.
Add the remaining oil and when hot, add all of the vegetables and fry for several minutes. Cook until tender crisp and the broccoli is bright green.
Add the chicken back to the pan, and pour in Hunan Sauce. Let it bubble and thicken for a few minutes, before removing it from the heat.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the finished dish.
Eat as is or serve over cauliflower rice. Check out our fried cauliflower rice recipe if you want to do a whole "take-out" experience.
